Did you know Angular already has a new big minor release?

Meet #Angular v21.2, which brings some fascinating new features and upgrades, especially for Signal Forms.

Join us at 4:30 PM UTC tonight as we look into everything new in this release!

Is it me, or #Angular has increased the pace of its minor releases? πŸ˜Άβ€πŸŒ«οΈ

Anyway, we have a new minor, and it brings some new exciting things. Join us tomorrow at 4:30 PM UTC as we try out all the new features and changes and see where this is all going!

Angular Router Today
Angular Router Today With Andrew Scott from the Angular core team, we will discuss the Angular router and what deep secrets it has, what features you must know, and what awaits it in the future

Thankfully, we had Andrew Scott, the author of this very PR and core member of the Angular team, live last week for a fantastic discussion about the Angular router, and of course, he also gracefully explained what's going on in the compiler.

Check it out here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=82Gd...

Will #Angular support the TypeScript Go compiler? Will it have a Rust compiler? 😱 πŸ¦€

This might be one of the most important PRs in the Angular repo in the past few weeks.

The graphic features a dark, futuristic aesthetic with neon blue and orange accents.

Top Center: The word "opencode" is displayed in a stylized, lowercase sans-serif font with a bright blue glow.

Top Left: A logo consisting of two overlapping, rounded squares in shades of blue and teal.

Top Right: The MiniMax logo, featuring a red-to-pink gradient waveform icon above the name in white capital letters.

Center Bottom: A translucent window displaying mock source code (resembling JavaScript or Java) with syntax highlighting.

Background: Glowing circuit-like lines and digital data streams connect the three main elements, suggesting data flow or an API integration.

To be honest, I did not expect Warp terminal + OpenCode + MiniMax models to be such an insanely powerful combo

Yesterday's stream was a success!

Did a gentle introduction to Google's Agent Development Kit. We discussed what agents are, what ADK does, and built our first (albeit simple) agents.

So today, I will try to mend this gap a little bit, especially for Angular devs. In today's livestream, I will cover Google's Agent Development Kit, a new framework for building AI agents

We will explore what agents are, what they can do, and how to quickly get started wth your very first one

It seems like everyone is building an AI agent nowadays... including me.

But the gap between people adopting building the new technology and those who only use it (let's be honest, we're all using AI for coding) is still huge.

So, this week, let us meet and take a small detour from #Angular and talk about building agents with ADK, Google's framework for agentic workflows.

I promise, if you're an Angular dev but never touched anything LLM-related, this will be super easy and accessible to you

Tomorrow at 4:30 PM UTC!

After my recent ADK + Angular workshop, I received a lot of comments asking to see it. I don't have the full workshop. I think I will do it one day online, but because I also do not have a topic for this week's livestream, I thought, "Why not just talk about ADK?"

A person stands on a low stage at the left, holding a microphone and gesturing toward a large blue screen while addressing a small group. Several attendees are seated in leather armchairs in the foreground with laptops open, while others sit on light-colored wooden tiered bleacher seating to the right. The room features a minimalist design with wooden wall panels, exposed industrial ceilings, and a green accent wall decorated with colorful abstract art and shelving.

Had a fantastic workshop on Saturday covering #Angular and Google #ADK

We built an interesting project that incorporated an AI agent built with the Agent Development Kit into a frontend application powered with Angular

Loved it, hopefully will do more in the future πŸ˜‰

- Is RxJS truly going away?
- Signals in router: what will it look like?
- Why you should probably be using `paramsInheritanceStrategy` and other lesser-known features
- Are we one step closer to the TSGO compiler in Angular?
- Will we have Rust-based or other compilers for Angular in the future?

I kept being incorrect about Angular Router on the internet, and Andrew kept teaching me new things, so one day I just asked, "Why don't we do this live so others can also learn?"
